How to specify the list of nodes that will be protected against deletion?

You need to specify it in protectnodes/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/module/protectnodes/context/service-context.xml configuring the path of all the nodes you need to protect. You can also specify a set of nodes that needs to be unprotected in deletableList.

Example, see property undeletableList for the list of nodes to be protected:
